There’s a serious problem with Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition in one region. It’s a bug so big that Square Enix has stopped sales. Since launch, some Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Austalia and New Zealand players have reported they can’t get play the game with other people. Square Enix confirmed it is aware of and looking into the problem. While it does, it’s stopped selling the game there.
Here’s the full statement, which Square Enix shared on the Final Fantasy Twitter account.
We have had reports that some players in Australia and New Zealand are having difficulty accessing the multiplayer feature of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition.
This is being investigated at present and to ensure customers have the best possible experience, further sales of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition in the region will be suspended until the issue has been addressed.
We understand that this is not ideal and would like to offer our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience caused. We’ll post the latest updates on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition here, so please bear with us.
Multiplayer is a critical part of the experience, as the entire game can be played cooperatively. However, ahead of launch Square Enix noted that element would be region-locked on the official site.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition is available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and mobile devices worldwide, though sales have temporarily been suspended in Australia and New Zealand.
